She raised an eyebrow, sitting down on the couch. “We’re not dating anymore, remember?” *** “I see. Does that mean I could put my hand into your back pocket?”
"I do remember," he replied, his tone rather rough. He made his way to the door. "Goodbye, Val." *** "Sure," she teased, "but my keys aren't there."
She looked up when he left, watching the door for a moment before taking a deep breath, pinching the bridge of her nose. *** He grinned before pausing. “We’re still in public, you know.”
His voice sounded immediately. "Vaaaaaaaaallllll!" *** She burst out laughing. "I'm telling your students you said that."
She pulled the phone away from her ear for a moment, frowning. “Landon? What’s going on?” *** “Oh, God. Please don’t.”
She hung up and sighed, standing up as she pulled on her coat. *** “They will never let me hear the end of it.”
Landon stood up, his movements wobbly as he attempted to open the car door. *** "I have to tell them now."
